Full Year Obligation
Once you submit the enrollment form and pay your enrollment fee you’re committing to paying for the entire year. We have intentionally kept our fees extremely low to make this beautiful classical education available for all. Please remember to pay on time so we can meet our financial obligations. We budget at the start of the year and spend accordingly. We are a very small group and families that commit and then quit leave us in a bad financial position. We also have offered you a spot and have possibly turned down other wonderful families so that you can be part of our school. So for all those reasons is why the fee agreement will obligate parents to pay a student’s fees for the entire school year regardless if your heart or feelings change mid-way through.
Do Your Research
The burden of doing ample research, visiting, learning the curriculum, and going through it to make sure it is all a good fit for you, rests entirely with you. It is your full responsibility to visit, ask questions before you enroll, flip through the curriculum, and really weigh out the cost and benefit if you truly want to join.
We Don’t Pro-rate
Some families have to miss the first few weeks, or plan to miss some weeks during the year. At times we have taken a student mid-year. We don’t pro-rate the costs in any instance.
Exception to Policy
If a student drops out before the first day of school, only half the class fees will be due (or if they have already paid tuition, 50% of the tuition will be refunded); after school has commenced, all fees will be due and there are no refunds granted in any instance except a pro-rated rebate, not to exceed 50% of fees, that will be granted in the following circumstances:
- The student moves outside the greater Phoenix area (50 miles from school) with 60 days written notice.
- The student experiences extended physical illness and because of the physical illness is unable to attend school the remainder of the year (i.e. cancer or other serious illnesses that would require bed rest or hospitalization and obviously the student can’t attend because they must stay home).
